Total Population Size Minimum Population Size: Maximum Population Size: Habitat and Ecology Erect large shrub restricted to rocky hills in shallow soils in open eucalypt forest or woodland, associated with Eucalyptus crebra, E. cloeziana and E. dichromophloia (Wilson 1987). System Movement pattern Crop Wild Relative Terrestrial Freshwater Nomadic Congregatory/Dispersive Is the species a wild relative of a crop? Marine Migratory Altitudinally migrant Growth From Definition Shrub - large Perennial shrub (>1m), also termed a Phanerophyte (>1m) Threats There are no major threats known to this species, however the overall condition of Einasleigh uplands bioregion where this species occurs, is declining and significant intervention is required to prevent further loss of the biodiversity values of the area. Grazing pressure, changes in fire regime and exotic weeds are the major threatening processes. Broad scale tree clearing is threatening the Herberton Wairuna subregion, where this species has been found most often. The most common threatened vegetation types of the region are eucalypt woodlands with grassy and shrubby understorey with grazing pressure, followed closely by exotic weeds identified as the main threats. The condition of these ecosystems is declining (Australian Natural Resources Atlas 2009). Past Present Future 1 Habitat Loss/Degradation (human induced) 1.1 Agriculture 1.1.4 Livestock 1.5 Invasive alien species (directly impacting habitat) 1.7 Fires 7 Natural disasters 7.4 Wildfire 10 Human disturbance 10.5 Fire Conservation Measures This species is known to occur within the Tinaroo Forestry Reseve. Only 2.42% of the total area of the Einasleigh Uplands is under reserve tenure. These reserves include 35% of regional ecosystems present in the bioregion, and incorporate 16 of the 24 threatened ecosystems. Most of the localities where this species is known from are not within protected areas, and grassy and shrubby eucalypt woodlands including riparian areas require conservation action through habitat protection on private lands and reserves. Grazing pressure needs to be controlled and in places removed through fencing and feral animal control (Australian Natural Resources Atlas 2009). This species is not listed as Threatened in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). It is recommended that the seeds of this species are banked as an ex situ conservation measure.

Possibly Extinct Candidate? Rationale for the Red List Assessment I. bancroftii is listed as Near Threatened in view of its fairly restricted distribution in eucalypt forest or woodland of the Einasleigh Uplands in Queensland (EOO ~32,000 km2). The species does not appear to be well protected (it is only known to occur within one small forest reserve) and the overall condition of the area is declining mainly due to grazing pressure, changes in fire regimes, broad scale tree clearing and exotic weeds. Despite the fact that it is not listed as Threatened under the EPBC Act, it is recommended that the new protected areas are identified, grazing pressure minimised and that the seeds of this species are banked as an ex situ conservation measure.

  • African Traditional Plant Knowledge in the Circum-Caribbean Region
    Journal of Ethnobiology 23(2): 167-185 Fall/Winter 2003 AFRICAN TRADITIONAL PLANT KNOWLEDGE IN THE CIRCUM-CARIBBEAN REGION JUDITH A. CARNEY Department of Geography, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90095 ABSTRACT.—The African diaspora to the Americas was one of plants as well as people. European slavers provisioned their human cargoes with African and other Old World useful plants, which enabled their enslaved work force and free ma- roons to establish them in their gardens. Africans were additionally familiar with many Asian plants from earlier crop exchanges with the Indian subcontinent. Their efforts established these plants in the contemporary Caribbean plant corpus. The recognition of pantropical genera of value for food, medicine, and in the practice of syncretic religions also appears to have played an important role in survival, as they share similar uses among black populations in the Caribbean as well as tropical Africa. This paper, which focuses on the plants of the Old World tropics that became established with slavery in the Caribbean, seeks to illuminate the botanical legacy of Africans in the circum-Caribbean region. Key words: African diaspora, Caribbean, ethnobotany, slaves, plant introductions. RESUME.—La diaspora africaine aux Ameriques ne s'est pas limitee aux person- nes, elle a egalement affecte les plantes. Les traiteurs d'esclaves ajoutaient a leur cargaison humaine des plantes exploitables dAfrique et du vieux monde pour les faire cultiver dans leurs jardins par les esclaves ou les marrons libres. En outre les Africains connaissaient beaucoup de plantes dAsie grace a de precedents echanges de cultures avec le sous-continent indien.

  • Cape Verde Islands, C. 1500–1879
    TRANSFORMATION OF “OLD” SLAVERY INTO ATLANTIC SLAVERY: CAPE VERDE ISLANDS, C. 1500–1879 By Lumumba Hamilcar Shabaka A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History- Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT TRANSFORMATION OF “OLD” SLAVERY INTO ATLANTIC SLAVERY: CAPE VERDE ISLANDS, C. 1500–1879 By Lumumba Hamilcar Shabaka This dissertation explores how the Atlantic slave trade integrated the Cape Verde archipelago into the cultural, economic, and political milieu of Upper Guinea Coast between 1500 and 1879. The archipelago is about 300 miles off the coast of Senegal, West Africa. The Portuguese colonized the “uninhabited” archipelago in 1460 and soon began trading with the mainland for slaves and black African slaves became the majority, resulting in the first racialized Atlantic slave society. Despite cultural changes, I argue that cultural practices by the lower classes, both slaves and freed slaves, were quintessentially “Guinean.” Regional fashion and dress developed between the archipelago and mainland with adorning and social use of panu (cotton cloth). In particular, I argue Afro-feminine aesthetics developed in the islands by freed black women that had counterparts in the mainland, rather than mere creolization. Moreover, the study explores the social instability in the islands that led to the exile of liberated slaves, slaves, and the poor, the majority of whom were of African descent as part of the Portuguese efforts to organize the Atlantic slave trade in the Upper th Guinea Coast. With the abolition of slavery in Cape Verde in the 19 century, Portugal used freed slaves and the poor as foot soldiers and a labor force to consolidate “Portuguese Guinea.” Many freed slaves resisted this mandatory service.
